Jaclyn and Trevor's Wedding Weekend | Part II - Chatham Bars Inn Cape Cod Wedding

When former Springfield news anchor Jaclyn Cashman (daughter of Boston construction boss Jay Cashman) married fellow Boston College grad and Cashman Inc. exec C. Trevor Childs, Person + Killian Photography was there to capture it all.

Following Friday’s beach party and lobster bake on Cashman’s private island off the coast of Chatham was Saturday’s spectacular wedding. Celebrating the events of the weekend alongside the couple were their parents, Jay and his wife, actress and executive producer of “The Kids Are All Right” Christy Scott Cashman, Trevor’s mom Laurie Jones (Managing editor of Vogue), Best man and Trevor’s dad, artist C. Frederick Childs and Jaclyn’s mom Linda Cashman-Belton.

After the ceremony where the bride walked down the isle in a spectacular dress by Christos at Saks Fifth Avenue it was off to the South Lawn of the Chatham Bars Inn for a 1940’s inspired cocktail hour and reception.

The party featured an array of surprises and entertainment for the 200+ guests including the White Heat Swing Orchestra, photo booth with props (always a hit) and both an espresso and cigar bar. One of the biggest hits of the night was The Zoo Band that traveled to Chatham from New York City. The reception concluded with a custom fireworks display over the water.

Even though the reception had ended, the party continued into the early hours of the morning when CBI’s Monomoy Meeting House was transformed into a nightclub complete with DJ, floor to ceiling uplighting and everyone’s favorite late night snacks.

Capturing the weekend alongside P+K were Boston Globe Photographer Bill Brett and Boston Herald Photographer Arthur Pollock who were on hand to take a few images of the couple and their guests. Even the New York Times featured an article on this incredible weekend of events.

It was an absolute thrill having the opportunity to photograph this amazing weekend, which was all planned by Allison Wildes Liset of Elegant Engagements. Congratulations to newlyweds Jaclyn and Trevor and thank you to you and your amazing families for being so accommodating and wonderful to work with.

Jaclyn and Trevor's Wedding Weekend | Part I - Strong Island Beach Party

It’s not every day that Person + Killian Photography is asked to photograph a beach party and lobster bake on a private island. Well, this time we had the opportunity for Jaclyn and Trevor’s pre-wedding bash.

The day started when we hopped on a boat at the Chatham Bars Inn on a perfect Friday morning and headed out on a 20 min boat ride to Strong Island. Upon arrival, all guests were greeted at the boathouse with refreshing Island Rum Punch.

After making our way across the island to the beach, totes were given out that had everything necessary for the perfect day including towels, sun screen, mist spray and more. For the next couple of hours, guests partied it up complete with a raw bar, water sports, boats full of iced cold beverages and even a DJ spinning from a tiki boat in the water!

From there it was off to the spa tent before heading over to the lobster bake. The remainder of the afternoon was complete with an authentic reggae band, Mojitos and even the signature “Wedded Bliss” cocktail.

Check back soon for Part II of the weekend - Jaclyn and Trevor’s wedding day
